Question

Hi I’m working on inserting a text to this DOM but my try did not work like I expecting.

 <p class="doing">Peter are <a href="mysite.com">here</a></p>
<script>$("p.doing").before("I and ");</script>

I’m expecting to have result:

<p class="doing">I and Peter are <a href="mysite.com">here</a></p>

but it was :

I and 
<p class="doing">Peter are <a href="mysite.com">here</a></p>

Please kindly advise how to solve this.

Use prepend instead.

$("p.doing").prepend("I and ");
